Textainer Announces Change in U.S. Tax Treatment of 2021 Dividends
April 06 2022 - 4:15PM
Textainer Group Holdings Limited (NYSE:TGH) (“Textainer”) today
announced a change in the reporting of both common and preferred
dividends paid to its shareholders in 2021 for U.S. federal income
tax purposes.
Textainer previously reported on IRS Form 8937
that all of its 2021 distributions were to be treated as a
nontaxable return of capital to the extent of each shareholder’s
relative income tax basis. With revised reporting, these
distributions are now to be considered taxable income for U.S.
federal income tax purposes.
Amended 2021 IRS Form 8937s are available on
Textainer’s website, which can be accessed at
https://investor.textainer.com/form8937.
The table below summarizes the tax treatment for
dividends paid in 2021 on the Company’s Common Shares

Textainer also previously announced that for
dividends paid on March 15, 2022 on the Company’s Common Shares
(NYSE:TGH) the distribution may be treated as a nontaxable return
of capital. Consistent with the revised reporting of 2021
distributions, the March 15, 2022 distribution should be considered
taxable income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Please note
that the taxable dividend characterization provided is an estimate,
and the final characterization of the distribution will not be
determinable until year-end because the earnings and profits of TGH
cannot be determined until year-end.
